Principles of Vastu Planning: In the Light of Group Theory Paperback – 23 December 2013

#1.

El formato es bueno, pero después de leer por todas partes que el plano de una casa es de tres por tres y que el de cuatro por cuatro es para templos, este señor dice que el de las casas es de cuatro por cuatro. Al final parece que da lo mismo todo y lo que importa es que haya una proporción en todas las medidas a partir de un número determinado. No me ha entusiasmado y me ha parecido caro. Pero como todo, es para gustos. Por otro lado utiliza demasiada matemática aplicada a demostrar no se qué, ni se si realmente es necesario demostrar lo que pretende o es un malabarismo intelectual sin más. Realmente útil es una pequeña parte del libro. Hay libros mejores sobre vastu.

This unique book expresses powerful ideas with practical importance in everyday life and is printed on high quality paper, but suffers greatly from poor editing. The best parts of the book are the beginning and the end. It gets muddled in the middle with repetitious derivations of formulas and some poorly-labeled tables and figures. It should have provided a more thorough introduction to group theory and the many mathematical terms employed should have been better-defined and illustrated. If you are not comfortable with algebra, you will have trouble following much of what it presents, even if you can readily grasp the big picture ideas with which it begins and ends. Moreover the book is a tease insofar as it defers a more adequate explanation of the various Vastu measures for those who wish to take a Vedic architecture course in Holland. It discusses building orientation, width and length, but neglects the equally important factor of height. It could have been much better. I hope the author will get some help and offer us a revised edition.

Not what I expected. No user friendly.
